About

When the Rain Stops opens with a wet burst of green notes and crisp bergamot, conjuring the smell of rain-soaked foliage under a clearing sky. Gentle aquatic and ozonic facets ripple through the heart, joined by a petal-soft Turkish rose and jasmine, evoking dew beading on leaves. Pine and moss in the base give the scent its earthy, forested finish, grounding the watery transparency in a soft, woody embrace. The overall effect is breezy, contemplative, and quietly radiant-like stepping outside into a world washed clean.
